I recommend this book to anyone approaching Dan level and above:

it contains 46 commentaries of top Japanese tournament games in 1992, some commented by the winner of the title himself, and others commented by top pros .

This gives tremendous insight on the way to pro think and play all over the match.

2.0 out of 5 stars Go-ing Somewhere, March 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Tournament Go, 1992, A Yearbook of Japanese Professional Go (Paperback)

Not a good introductory into the rules and strategies of the game, but title doesn't suggest it is either. Introduces a bit of the culture sourding the game in its home country. Kinda boring, even if you are a huge fan of go, so I wouldn't reccomend it to someone who has only a passing interest.
